ASTRONOMY.
Its Study Nowadays Within the Reach of
Everybody.

Its Study Nowadays Within the Reach of
Everybody.
There never was time when the heavens
were stu died by so many amateur astrono-
mers as at present. In every civilized
country many excellent telescopes are
owned and used, often to very good pur-
pose, by persons who are not practical as
tronomers, but who wish to see for them
selves the marvels of the sky, and who
occasionally stumble upon something that
is new even to professional stargazers. Yet,
notwithstanding this activity in the cult
walton of astronomical studies, it is proba-
bly, safe to assert that hardly one person in
hundred knows the chief stars by name.
or can even recognize the principal con-
stellations, much less distinguish the
planets from the fixed stars, and of course,
they know nothing of the intellectual
pleasures that accompanies knowledge of
the stars.
Education and general intelligence can
offer no valid excuse for not knowing where
to look for Sirius or Aldebaran, or the Orion
nebula, or the planet Jupiter. As Aus
tralia and New Zealand and the islands of
the sea are made a part of the civilized
world through the expanding influence OF
commerce and cultivation, so the suns and
planets are in a certain sense falling under
the dominion OF the restless and reSiStleSs
mind of man. We have come to possess
vested intellectual interests in Mars and
Saturn, and in the sun and all his multi
tude OF fellows. which nobody can afford
to ignore. Perhaps one reason why the
average educated man or woman know so
little of the starry heavens is because it is
popularity supposed that only the most
powerful telescopes and costly instruments
of the observatory are capable of dealing
with them. No greater mistake could be
made. 1t does not require an optical in
strument of any kind, nor much labor, as
compared with that expended in the &C
quirement of some polished accomplish
ments regarded as Indispensable, to give
one an acquaintance with the stars and
planets, which will not only be pleasurea-
BILE but useful. And with the aid of an
opera-glass most interesting, gratifying,
and, in some instances, scientifically valua
bic observations may be made in the
heavens. | have more than once heard
persons who knew nothing about the stars.
and probably cared less, utter EXPLANATIONS
of surprise and delight when persuaded to
look at certain parts of the sky with good
glass, and thereafter manifest an interest
in astronomy of which they would form
erly have believed themselves incapable

England When the Romans Came There.

At the first coming of the Romans by far
the larger part of the country was probably
covered with wood. During the centuries
of Roman occupation some of the less dense
parts of the woodland were cleared. In
driving their magnificent straight high
ways through the country the Roman le-
gionaries felled the trees for seventy wards
on each side of them to secure them from
the arrows of lurking foe. So stupendous
was the labor involved in this task that
they gladly avoided forests where that pos
sible, and sometimes even swung their
roads TO right or left to keep clear of these
formidable obstacles. For many hundreds
OF years after the departure of the legions
vast tracts of primeval forest remained as
impenetrable barriers between different
tribes. In these natural Businesses, the
wolf, brown bear, and wild boar still found
a secure retreat. Even as late as the twelfth
century the woods to the north of London
swarmed with wild bears and wild oxen.
Everywhere, too, the broken men of the
community betook themselves to these i'm
penetrable retreats, where they lived by
the chase, and whence they issued for plum
der and bloodshed. The forests were thus
from time immemorial a singularly i'm
portant element in the topography. The
have now almost entirely disappeared, and
their former sites have as yet only been
partially determined, though much NAV
doubtless still be done in making our
knowledge of them more compiete.-lLac-

KELLY GETTING READY.
In a Short Time the World to be Startled
bv the Wonderful Inventions


An advertisement signed John w. Keely,
No. 1922 North Twentieth street, appeared
to-day in morning paper, addressed To
whom it may concern" requesting all par
ties having claims against him to present
them within thirty days from date for a
proper and speedy settlement, and adding,
So that / may be relieved from all en-
barrassments and obligation before enter
ing upon the business career of my inven-
TONS"
The advertisement was shown to Secre-
tary Schuellerman, of the Keely Motor
Company, who was asked its meaning.
The company has nothing to do with
that said the Secretary. 7" 1t is Mr.. Kee-
ly's own affair. l knew nothing about the
advertisement until to-day. l suppose that
Mr.. Kelly wants to have everything set
tied up before be commences with the
business of his inventions. He is nearly
through with his work, and | can readily
understand that before he enters upon bust
ness with the company he would like to be
free from anything that might possibly
come in and embarrass him."
When do you think Mr.. Keely will be
ready to demonstrate the value of his in
ventions?" inquired the reporter.
Why, very soon," replied Mr.. Schuel
lerman. " | think within the next thirty
Ut Sixty udyS, Certainly WItHin SiAly udys,
Mr.. Kelly will astonish the world. By
that time people who have been ridiculing
him will be among the first to acknowl-
edge the wonderful power of his inven-
tons"
= Has Mr.. Kelly any more than the one
invention, the motor?''
He has, / think, thirteen in all. The
company does not run all of them. A new
company is to be organized shortly, which
is already known, and it will practically be
merging of the old corporation into the
new one. Everyone holding share of
stock in the old one will be given one in
the new company. 1t will also be neces-
sary to cover the inventions with patents
before anything can be done. As it is cav
eats have been taken out year by year"
" Are there any demands for stock?"
There are" answered the Secretary
- Our stock is held by good class of peo
pie. II has been largely held in New York,
but now much of it is being taken by par
ties in this city. 1t sold down as low as 81
year ago, but since then it has been sell
ing at from SIS to S17. For some time past
it has been selling at ST."
Then you have entire faith in the sue
cess of Mr.. Keely's inventions?"
1 certainly have" was the Secretary's
quick and emphatic reply. II know that
Mr.. Kelly is pretty nearly through with
his inventions, and in a short time he will
surprise the world. There1l be a great
revolution in sentiment. Those who have
been making game will be the first to
shout Keely's praises. "-Phitadeiphia Telc-

A CURIOUS GERMAN GAME.-A curious
children's game Is played in various parts
of Germany that has reference to Mother
Holda or Bertha. A big girl sits in the
middle of a ring, with the smallest chill
dren on her lap, who pretends to be asleep,
says a writer in the CorahW Magazine for
March. Then one girl hobbies, as if lame,
to the first child in the ring, and asks her if
she be Mother Rose, or Mother Hole, or
Mother Mary-the mama varies. The child
turns first one ear then the other to the
Questioner, and pretends to be deaf, but at
last replies, Go a step higher" So the
circle is gone round, and the questioner
finally comes to the girl in the middle,
who on being asked the same question, re-
plies; 81 wake not, sleep not, | dream not
What desire you?" The other asks to be
given one of the angels on her lap. Mother
Rose replies she would rather give all the
kingdom of heaven. The up jumps one
of the sleeping babes and runs to the lame
girl, who leads her to a thread stretched
between two girls. If she can jump over
this thrice without laughing the little child
may join the outer ring; if not, she must
go back to Roses lap and be an angel

He STUCK TO THE PRESIDENTS BROTHER
When Major Polk arrived at his head
quarters at Mexico he knew nothing what
ever of military matters" said General
Viele, recently. " He was ordered to take
command of the regiment of which was
Adjutant. Before doing so he got friend
to write out all the orders he would have
to give. When he appeared upon the scene
he called out 10 the Orderly to send the
Adiutant to him. Here are my orders,
said Polk, handing them over to me, have
them published They were published
accordingly. The next day Major Polk
was ordered to form a squadron. He said
to me- MY spur is off; wish to put it
on. Give the order to put the squadron in
motion l did so. Continue to give or
ders. sir shouted the Major. The next
day he began to read up on military tactics.
He read the first page and took a drink.
Then he read the second page and took an
other drink. Finally he threw down the
book and exclair ed: Adjutant Viele !
don't know a IN thing about it. My
brother is President of the United States.
You stick by me and tell me what to do,
and I'll see that you get quick promotion.
